Graham,
revised calculation based on both pods having a 1/4" wall thickness.
Not taking the batteries into consideration as they stay the same.
Old pod is 61.85 lb buoyant.
New pod is 151.62 lb buoyant.
You need 89.77 lb x 2 = 179.54 lb to get back to your original 
neutral buoyancy. 
So you weren't far off with the 150 lb you added.
Hank said 166 lb so we are only 13.5lb different in our calculations.
If you can't put the lead under the sub, & you have a small section of the
new pod pipe, you could clamp a wall at either end & cast lead in to it so
that you have lead in manageable sections contoured to your battery
pod that can fit under your batteries. You could use wooden spacers
between sections of lead to adjust your subs trim.
Cheers Alan
